Auxiliary light brackets

I have ordered some heed engine bars and I need to remove the auxiliary light brackets and replace them with something else

Anyone got any recommendations? particularly ones that will fit the BMW lights on

I have seen some lights mounted between the fairing under the front light which looked good but can't find any brackets for them :?

Denali does mounts that fit just below the mirrors but a bit expensive at £116. Also there is Heed and Givi. I think Wunderlich do some

Yeah the denali ones are a bit on the steep side!

By the looks of it I will be fitting them to the engine bars using something like what Steve linked to

I have Illium brackets. But again not a cheap option. Sportouring are a uk supplier

Found some but not sure if I like the position they are in!

I wanted them higher or in a similar position to the standard ones but the brackets and bar combination just won't allow that position!

Am I being too picky? :lol:

If they stay there I will need to extend the wiring

Will they not fit on the top part of the bar ? .

Not really!

The brackets are pretty big and can't get the correct angles due to fouling with the engine

Plus the rear of the lights touch the engine too

If I had a bar as far forward as yours I would be OK

Extended the wiring for the lights the other night!

I went the whole hog and removed the loom for the lights and extended them at the top end where it is all hidden and taped it all back up and it looks stock! well what you can see of it anyway

Lights look OK where they are now they work :lol:
